Day 21
January 27, 2008 10:10 am Velocity Diet LogSleep
I tried, but I could only get 5.5 hours sleep last night. I went to bed just short of 3am and ended up getting up at about 8:30, that’s just all the sleep I needed. I don’t feel in the least bit tired or anything and will probably have another last one today.
Exercise
I usually run today but I wanted to try a week with the required low level of exercise. I’ll go for a walk today and that should be enough.
General
I woke up after so little sleep and I felt absolutely wicked! For some reason I don’t really seem to need heaps of sleep at the moment. I’m still trying to get it though.
My eating on the weekends seem to be fairly good but I’m missing my breakfast due to waking up later unless I’m running on Sunday. I don’t think that’s any problem though as I can just up my intake in a couple of shakes to still make up the daily intake.
I’m not sure what to say really, things are going easily, I really want to be onto the solid meal a day option soon but another week will pass super quick.
I’ve noticed a bit more definition in my thighs, there is maybe a ligament or something running by the knee cap that I don’t remember seeing before. So changes are still coming day to day, and I’m still noticing little changes here and there.
I went out dancing from about 11:30 until 2 in the morning, and my mouth started to taste like arse. I thought that I might have slipped into ketosis again so I checked when I got home and I’m in ketosis again. I just can’t seem to stay out of it so I’m probably going to stop trying not to. I’m at the second marker which means I’m definitely in ketosis, the first marker is ‘traces’ which is where I was before I went out of it. During the first part of being in ketosis I was onto the third marker at times. I think to be really in ketosis you want to hover between the second and third marker.
Tomorrow is weigh and measure day, hopefully tomorrow I’ll be under the 100. I’m looking forward just to knowing where I stand really. Looking forward to weights too as I am still noticing changes day to day and it’s good to have new exercises and the ability to push myself harder because of the self spotter bars.
When I went out this evening I tried on a tshirt that had always been tight even when I was smaller than when I started this and it’s probably the loosest it’s ever been! Even when I bought it, it was tighter. The pants too were loose in the legs and arse and they had always been tight. Things are still changing. It makes me determined to finish this, eat healthy for four weeks or so and then do another run.
